Just Monday night, the bear was seen in the area of Hametown Road near Interstate 76.

Resident Dan Skinner, who lives on Pamdon Drive, said he saw the bear at around 8 p.m., and walked across the street to warn an elderly neighbor doing yard work. By the time he came back, the bear was on his porch.

"He was really big," said Skinner. "I have a 100-pound Alaskan Malamute, and the bear was three times his size."

It’s believed theparticular bear migrated from Pennsylvania. Police say bears will roam 5-10 miles a night looking for food; they are not naturally aggressive, but if spotted, do not approach, and be sure to keep your distance.
